The London Fashion Week exhibitions give the press and buyers the opportunity to see exactly what’s been shown on the catwalk, getting a closer look at details, textures, shapes and construction.

The exhibition space at Somerset House is also home for Esthetica, the British Fashion Council’s sustainable initiative, and Headonism, an area dedicated to the UK’s finest up and coming milliners. All words and photos Rosie.

My first stop was at Piers Atkinson’s harem of beautifully crafted hats and fascinators. I loved the Cherry influence last season, and was glad to see the brash and kitsch still featuring heavily in Atkinson’s design aesthetic. My favourite was the OTT floral number, something to add to the wedding possibility wish list.

Next, onto a jewellery stand by Les Nereides, a company new to London showcasing gorgeously tongue-in-cheek hand crafted jewellery. My favourites were the over-sized llama necklace and lady necklaces. Will definitely be keeping my eyes peeled at their new Covent Garden store for some of those! For more do see Les Nereides website here.

Finally was a mouth watering selection of Swedish Hasbeen’s, whom I’ve mentioned before. There was a very limited selection available at the beginning of summer at ASOS, and its obvious that they must have been in high demand. Clog-mania is going to be upon us, and I can’t wait. Practical and adaptable, I’ll have the silver woven beauties on from February at this rate!
